Driller Queens

Hiii, I'm Melanie, South-African-kindness-enthusiast and creative all-rounder with a complimentary affinity for interiors & DIY.

Enter, Driller Queens! In nearly 3 years with the Queens, I’ve gone from emails & enquiries on the Project Support team → to content, captions & quips as the Socials department. It’s been nothing short of a good time. 🎉

With that, sadly this introduction doubles as a final post + farewell as I grow on to new beginnings with .studio. Thanks, everyone for the likes, the lols + the fun! 💖🤝

Our awesome pals over at Housing First Q***r of are on the lookout for a part-time Hauswirtschaftskraft (30 hours).

The complete job description (in German) can be found in our bio! They need someone to start right away (don't mind the date on the job description, the position is still available!)

We would love it if you could spread the word among your connections and communities!

Just a heads up, this isn't a job with Driller Queens, so please reach out to Housing First Q***r through the link in our bio, instead of sending us a DM 😉

Don’t blow a fuse doing it yourself. 😮‍💨

*for those of you new to the city, when we say darkrooms, we’re not talking about photography 🌚

When our installs are the straightest thing in the room 😏🏳️‍🌈🛠️

Step aside Alpina Farben 💅

“But those aren’t working hands?” 💅🫡

This passing comment gave us the ick, then reminded us of our mission.

You’re likely seeing posts like this one across your feeds this International Women’s Day, and while we’re not typically ones to hop on a holiday for clout: THERE ARE STEREOTYPES TO SMASH!

We love to see women stick it to the system, make space for themselves, bring their own damn chairs to the table, and DIY for their down freaking selves. ⚡️🛠️

Here’s to you ladies. ❤️‍🔥

[*note: this is a complex topic, tricky to squeeze into one post + we’re fully aware that we’ve only scratched the surface.]

An apartment with a 5m tall ceiling is a treasure - until someone needs to get up there… 🫠💡🦒

So, when the note on Mark’s job said **MEGA LADDER NEEDED** we could almost predict a grateful customer; but this reaction made the whole balancing act worth it!

Do you need a mega ladder (+ a Queen to do the work up there) too?

just another day at the office ⚡️🛠️💅

From moving in to moving out, and everything in between, we pride ourselves on being the ✨personified✨ multi-tool of a service you can rely on for all hands-on home improvement tasks.

Have items like lights, cabinets, or curtain rails, that need installing? Or maybe you need a hand with furniture assembly or schönheitsreparaturen: our team of Queens can *just about** do it all. (And that’s less to do with ability, and more to do with laws respecting the trades. 💅)

Roses are red, violets are blue. May someone light up your p***y every day too. ⚡️💖🛠️

Happy Valentine’s Day Queens!

We’ll be your BFF under any* circumstances! ⚡️💖

*Unless you’re an as***le - that’s where we have a strict policy.

Thanks for the kind words, Hannah!

Genau, our website + services are now ordentlich bilingual! 🛠️

We’ve spent the last 4 years working towards this moment, and now that we’re equipped with more than a trusty supply of “genau”, “ach so” and “stimmt” in our German tool-box, we’re proud to say:

Wir sind endlich soweit. Driller Queens Dienste gibt es jetzt auch auf Deutsch.

Swiping right on IKEA’s PAX? 💘

Thankfully the only thing ‘complicated’ about your love affair with this Swede is it’s assembly. (We’ve heard it’s known to cause tension between loved ones, yikes! 👀)

Done right, one screw at a time, with minimal swearing. 😉🛠️

STOP YOUR SCROLL! You’re in the presence of an 👑ORIGINAL QUEEN 👑

Literally one of our first hires, it’s about time we introduce the skill savvy electro-whizz on our team! ⚡️

She also happens to be one of the funniest, craziest, AND warm + friendly people you’ll have the pleasure to meet… with a no-bullsh*t shield woven into her aura. 💖

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻 (𝘀𝗵𝗲/𝗵𝗲𝗿):
Previously a chef and a jewellery designer, Keren, since living in Berlin, has also become an up-cycling ju**ie. She combines her passion for flea market treasure hunting with her thrill for metalwork. The result? The one-of-a-kind lamps she creates in her studio! 💡💡💡

Do yourself the favour and take a look on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/messing.around.berlin/?hl=en

SCHOOL'S OUT, TOOLS IN! 🏫🛠️⁠
⁠
While the kiddos of Apego school soaked up their summer break, we got to play the way we big kids like best: with our tools, paint, and practical problem solving. ⁠
⁠
A small glimpse at the to-do list we worked on over the summer:⁠
⁠
✔️ Installed fun accessories at the ball pit (ofc we had a blast) 🤹‍♀️⁠
✔️ Brightened things up with fresh splashes of colour 🎨⁠
✔️ LEGO BOARD WALL! 🧱 ⁠
✔️ Got our woodworking crowns on to add shelving and new storage nooks 🪵⁠
✔️ Obligatory daily bunny chats 🐰⁠
⁠
Thanks for having us , we had a great time adding some DQ TLC to your awesome space. 💖⁠

The data is in 🕵️🧾📈

In case there was any confusion:

1. We love an indoor hammock moment!* ⚡️
2. We love your dogs!! 🐕 (At the rate our cat content was coming out, you might have thought Driller Queens was exclusively a Cat Person)

Do you (or your pet) also dream of living your best lives in a hammock?

We can make it happen:
Book a Queen via our LINK IN BIO 👑

* As long as your walls do too! Sadly, not all Berlin's walls are created equal; we’ll only consider a hammock installation in a Neubau or in an Altbau on structural walls!

From side business to scalable start-up, our Main Queen, Charly, recently spoke with Gründerzeit Magazine’s, Jenny Wuestner about the rise of Driller Queens, and her mission to innovate the traditionally male-dominated crafts industry. 🛠️👑⁠
